Introduced Text

Idaho S1393 amends child custody laws to limit the duration of temporary and ex parte orders and mandates investigations into allegations of abuse.

Idaho S1393 amends existing law to ensure temporary and ex parte orders in child custody cases do not function as long-term deprivations of parental rights. It mandates that any temporary custody order cannot remain in effect longer than 49 days and must be supported by clear and convincing evidence if extended. Ex parte orders, which can be issued without notice to the other party, expire 14 days from issuance and cannot be extended without a full evidentiary hearing.
